Menabrea

A relatively new bottled import to Northamerican shores is the
Menabrea Birra Bionda from Birra Menabrea. A dull
gold color in appearance, this medium-bodied "blond" brew offers a coarse and
crisp bitter flavor where hops dominate. A full mouthfeel complements the bold
hoppy character and the accompanying clean, pale malt flavor. Some big flavors
from a country that usually exports only its more tame light lager beers. This
one is a welcome change.
